Notes for Isaac JARRETT
“Isaac Jarrett (1738-90) served as private in Capt. George Knappen-berger's company, Col. George Breinig's 2d battalion, Northampton County, Pennsylvania militia. He was born and died in Pennsylvania.” (DAR)

Isaac’s birthdate is unknown. He was having kids by 1755, so the 1738 estimate in his DAR record is a bit of a stretch. The History of Lehigh County lists him liable for £12 in taxes in 1762. It also says he was of French descent and died in 1786; given the date of his will, that can be taken with a grain of salt.[ [2]]

Isaac is the forefather of almost all of today’s Lehigh Co Jarretts, through his sons John and Henry.

Isaac made his will 8 June 1790 stating he was “weak in body” and must have died soon after, as the will was probated in July. He divided the land into two parcels, one going to eldest son John and the other to Daniel.[ [786]]
